What does DITSY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Silly, scatterbrained, or lacking in seriousness, especially in a way that seems charmingly foolish rather than genuinely unintelligent.
Ditsy usually describes someone whose manner is flighty or absent-minded, forgetting small details or chattering about unimportant things, though the label often says more about how someone is perceived than about their real ability. The word is frequently applied, sometimes unfairly, to a certain stereotype of feminine behaviour in films and television. It is also spelled ditzy, with both forms common in informal writing.
